It just doesn't feel real yet...

mdelamater

So I hate to say this but I have almost NO symptoms. No morning sickness, no cravings, very little breast tenderness, and just a little constipation (sorry, tmi). I don't really feel pregnant, but I know I am since I've had 2 u/s. When does it start to feel "real"? I feel like I'm just getting fat!

Did you have symptoms and they went away?  Maybe the worst is over then!  I bet you once your belly starts to get bigger, it'll kick in! I still have the "hungover" feeling, but it's hard for me to feel like it's real too!

I thought it would feel more real after my first u/s. However, I had my first last night, and it still doesnt feel real. I am having symptoms though...no m/s yet however. I bet pp is right...when your belly starts to grow, it'll feel more real :-)

I haven't had many symptoms either...or my first doc appt (other than blood test to confirm that yes, as of a certain date, I was 4-5 weeks preg). My first doc apt is tomorrow so I am praying all is well.

That being said, I worry because I haven't had many symptoms. Just feel bad some days, no throwing up or real m/s. Boobs just feel a little bigger but not terribly tender...and I am just tired.

I guess we should feel thankful for little to no symptoms....

When you have a belly, that's when it starts to feel real.  Soon!

I feel the same way, hardly any symptoms. No sore boobs, no morning sickness. The only symptom I have is feeling really tired.

Ok... you guys all really made me feel better.  I've had little to no symptoms (I'm only 6 weeks) and it scares me!  I have my first appointment on Thursday and I'm almost dreading it because I'm afraid that my Dr will tell me that I had a m/c.  ahhhhhh!  I almost want m/s  (almost but not quite) so I'll at least know that I'm pregnant.

Me too. I actually ad some queasiness, big boobs and a swollen absomen, and they have all subsided.  (My boobs and stomach are bigger, just not as big as they got if that makes sense...)

I can't wait for my u/s on 10/8.  I definitely don't feel as pg as I did.

I'm glad other people feel the way I do. I have gained 4 pounds already and its sitting right on my stomach! Its not a baby bump, just extra fat....

 I have my next appointment on 10/22 so hopefully I will get to hear the heartbeat again and see that it truly is for real.

I feel the same way!! The only symptom I have is some food aversions that I used to love. I'm hoping it feels real when I get to hear the heartbeat!!

I feel the same way.  I took 5 pregnancy tests, because I had no symptoms.  My only symptom is constipation and fatique.  Everyday I come home from work (i'm a teacher) and sleep for at least an hour!  Since I never did this before, I know this is a symptom!

I'm the same way. I think it will feel real when I have a bump or can feel the baby.  Oh and constipation is sooo not tmi. lol
